‘‘ Every man’s life ends the same way.

It is only in the details of how he lived

and how he died that distinguish

one man from another ‘‘

Ernest Hemingway

‘‘ My aim is to put down on paper

what i see and what i feel in the

best and simplest way ‘‘

* Dana Sutta: This discourse discusses the motivations one might have for being
generous, and rates in ascending order the results that different motivations can
lead to. The Commentary notes that the highest motivation, untainted by lower
motivations and leading to non-returning, requires a certain level of mastery in
concentration and insight in order to be one’s genuine motivation for giving.
